This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 376,942, filed May 10, 1982 and now abandoned.

The invention concerns 1,2,3-triphenyl-1-pentanone derivatives which are effective in treating estrogen-dependent tumors.

It is disclosed in British Pat. No. 1 013 907 that 1,1,2-triphenylalkene derivatives may possess antiestrogenic properties and are thus suitable for the treatment of hormone-dependent tumors. In addition to these compounds, a series of further nonsteroid, antiestrogenic active ingredients has become known, the basic structures of which are of the triarylalkene type.

It is an object of this invention to provide new and effective compounds exhibiting high antiestrogenic activity which are thus useful in the treatment of estrogen-dependent tumors.

It is a further object of this invention to provide a compound having high binding affinity to the estradiol receptor of the uterus.

It has now been found surprisingly that antiestrogenically effective compounds are also present in the heretofore unknown class of the 1,2,3-triphenyl-1-pentanones of formula 1. ##STR3## wherein R1 may be a dimethylamino, diethylamino, pyrrolidin-1-yl or a piperidin-1-yl group, and R2 represents a hydrogen atom, a methoxy or a hydroxy group. Also effective are their pharmacologically acceptable salts.

As shall be shown hereinafter, the compounds claimed have a high bonding affinity, in their erythro form, to the estrogen receptor. Based on their high specific activity, the compounds claimed exhibit a pronounced autiuterotropic activity, which is of decisive importance for any mammatumor inhibiting activity.

The invention further concerns a process for the preparation of compounds of the general formula 1, wherein 1,2-diphenylethanones of the general formula 2 ##STR4## wherein R1 is defined as in general formula 1 and R2 is a hydrogen atom or a methoxy group, are reacted in anhydrous dimethylformamide with sodium hydride to form a mixture of the erythro and threo forms of the 1,2,3-triphenyl-1-pentanone. The erythro form is isolated by means of crystallization after reaction with 1-chloro-1-phenylpropane. Compounds of the general formula 1, wherein R2 is a hydroxy group, are obtained by subjecting the methoxy-substituted compounds of the general formula 1 to a selective methylether cleavage.

1,2-diphenylethanones may be prepared in the following manner.

Compounds of the general formula 3

R1 --CH2 CH2 Cl (3)

wherein R1 may be a dimethylamino, diethylamino, pyrrolidin-1-yl or a piperidin-1-yl group, are converted in the presence of alkali with phenol to ethers of the general formula 4 ##STR5## wherein R1 is as defined above. Compounds of the general formula 4 may be converted, in a Friedel-Crafts reaction with phenylacetic acid chlorides of the general formula 5 ##STR6## wherein R2 represents a hydrogen atom or a methoxy group, into the 1,2-diphenylethanones of the general formula 2. Following the action of sodium hydride on compounds of general formula 2 and subsequent conversion with 1-chloro-1-phenylpropane, compounds of general formula 1 are obtained, wherein R2 represents a hydrogen atom or a methoxy group.

Crystallization from dilute methanol yields the compounds in their pure erythro form.

When the methoxy derivatives of general formula 1 are heated under reflux with a solution of hydrobromic acid, they are cleaved into compounds of general formula 1, wherein R2 represents a hydroxy group.

The following compounds are exemplary of the 1,2,3-triphenyl-1-pentanone compounds claimed:

The erythro and threo forms of 1,2,3-triphenyl-1-pentanone derivatives of general formula 1 are clearly different in their proton resonance signals of methyl protons in the pentanone chain. The signals of the erythro form are shifted to the high field in relation to the threo form, which has also been found with hexestrol derivatives. (R. Gaswami, S. G. Harsy, D. F. Heiman and J. A. Katzenellenbogen, J. Med. Chem. 23, 1002 (1980)).

A high antiestrogenic activity of the erythro forms of the 1,2,3-triphenyl-1-pentanone derivatives of general formula 1 was determined. They are thus therapeutically useful in the treatment of estrogen-dependent tumors.

The determination of the binding affinity to the estradiol receptor was effected by means of the rabbit uterus cytosol. The compounds claimed exhibit high bonding affinities.

The measurement of the antiuterotropic action was effected following a three-week treatment with the active ingredient of sexually mature, female rats. The compounds claimed exhibit pronounced antiuteroptropic effects.

The tumor inhibiting action was measured following a four-week treatment with the active ingredient on female rats, with mammatumors induced previously with 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene. The compounds exhibit a strong inhibition of the growth of tumors.

The compounds of the invention thus represent a valuable addition to the range of available medicines and may be employed in the treatment of malignant mammatumors.

The invention further includes medicines containing a compound of general formula 1 as the active ingredient, in addition to the usual pharmaceutical carriers and auxiliary substances.

The compounds are preferably administered orally. The daily oral dosage is usually from about 0.01 to about 0.2 g, preferably 0.02 to 0.1 g. However, it may be necessary in certain cases to deviate from the above cited doses, as a function of individual response to the drug or the manner of its formulation and the frequency at which the drug is administered. Thus, in certain cases it may be sufficient to administer less than the aforementioned minimum dosage, while in other cases the aforementioned upper limit must be exceeded. When larger amounts are administered, it may be advantageous to divide them over a day in several smaller, individual doses. The active ingredients may be compounded prior to oral administration, for example in capsules, tablets or as dragees.

The drugs may be processed into tablets or dragees cores by mixing the active ingredient with solid, powdered carrier substances, such as micronized cellulose, potato or corn starch, with additions such as sodium citrate, calcium carbonate and binders such as polyvinyl pyrrolidone, gelatin or cellulose derivatives, possibly with the addition of lubricants such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate or polyethylene glycols. For oral administration, they may be mixed with flavor enhancers.

Other suitable forms for administration of the drug are coated capsules, for example of hard gelatin, or sealed soft gelatin capsules with a plasticizer, such as glycerine. The coated capsules contain the active ingredient preferably in the form of granulates, and may be mixed with fillers, such as potato starch or amylopectin, cellulose derivatives or highly dispersed silica. In soft gelatin capsules the active ingredient is dissolved or suspended preferably in suitable liquids, for example in vegetable oil or liquid polyethylene glycols.

The invention shall become more apparent from the examples which follow. These examples are given with the understanding that they are intended to illustrate the invention but are not intended to act as a limitation on the scope of the present invention.

PAC Preparation of erythro-2-(4'-methoxyphenyl)-3-phenyl-1-(4'-(2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-ethoxy)-phe nyl)-1-pentanone containing medicine

20 g of a powdered active ingredient are mixed with 40 g lactose and 140 g starch, and subsequently intermixed with 33 g talcum and 13 g calcium stearate. After careful mixing, the composition is filled into 2000 hard gelatine capsules of a suitable size, each capsule containing 10 mg of the active ingredient.

PAC Preparation of erythro-1-(4'-(2-dimethylaminoethoxy)-phenyl)-2-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-3-pheny l-1-pentanone containing medicine

20 g of a finely powdered active ingredient are mixed with 111 g mannitol, 15 g corn starch, and 6 g alginic acid and granulated. The dried granulate is mixed carefully with 0.75 g methyl cellulose and 1.5 g magnesium stearate, and pressed into 1000 tablets, so that each tablet contains 20 mg of the active ingredient.

(a) Bonding affinity to the estradiol receptor

The measurement of the bonding affinity to the estradiol receptor was affected by the method of N. Devleeschouwer, G. Leclercq, A. Danguy and J. C. Heuson, (Europ. J. Cancer, 14, 721-723 (1978)). The uterus cytosal of female, prepubertal, white rabbits (New Zealand) weighing 2 kg, was incubated for 18 hours at 40°C with 2.5×10-9 M (3 H) estradiol, with the further addition of unmarked estradiol (control) or the test substance in different concentrations. The bonding affinity to the estradiol receptor is expressed by the concentration of unmarked estradiol (control) or the test substance added to the uterus cytosol, which effects a 50% displacement of the (3 H) estradiol bound to the estradiol receptor.

(b) Antiuterotropic Effect

The antiuterotropic effect was determined by a modified Dorfman test (R. I. Dorfman, "Methods in Hormone Research II" p. 707, Academic Press, New York-London, 1962), on sexually mature female Spraque-Dawley rats.

The test compounds were taken up in a 0.25% aqueous agar suspension and administered by esophageal tube over a period of 21 days, six times per week. Following the completion of the experiment, the uterus weight of animals treated with the active ingredient was related to the uterus weight of the control animals, which received only an empty agar suspension.

(c) Mammatumor Inhibiting Effect

The tumor inhibiting effect was determined on the model of mammatumors induced by means of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene of female Spraque-Dawley rats (Hannover strain), by the method of M. J. Golder (Europ. J. Cancer 11, 571 (1975)) and D. P. Griswold et al. (Cancer Research 26, 2169 (1966)).

The test substance were taken up in a 0.25% agar solution and administered by esophageal tube over a period of 28 days, six times per week. Twice weekly and on the 28th day of the experiment, the number of animals was ascertained and the tumor surface (mm2 /animal) of the therapy and control animals measured. At the completion of the experiment, the percentage increase of the average tumor surface of the treated animals was determined, compared with the control animals, which were valued at 100%.
